Description

Pappy Van Winkle's Family Reserve 15 Year Old Bourbon Whiskey is a highly sought-after wheated bourbon, aged for 15 years in charred new oak barrels. It is known for its rich, complex flavors and is produced by the Old Rip Van Winkle Distillery in partnership with Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. The 2017 bottling is affectionately known as the 'Santa Edition' due to an accidental red foil capsule.
